I am the same, I have come across some very pleasant drivers of cars and lorry's that really are helpful especially on my ride home from work and endevour to cross a very busy road that takes me to a cycle path on the other side which enables me to miss out 3 roundabouts one of which is an M3...

Now I like that one and am after a folder to join my stable :D Most definitely neither step through or typical cross bar. I want ONE :cool: Mandy

Hi John I am a girly girl but I do like to ride my SE with crossbar and yes I guess I chose this bike for it's asphetically pleasing looks and speed :D I did have difficulty getting my leg over it in the beginning as I do have a big canvas bag on the rack and couldn't swing that way :eek...

Bargains or not? I think you do often get what you pay for but there are some bargains to be had out there but you just gotta find them :) It's a bit like clothes shopping really? I buy clothes in Primark (dirt cheap) and Next or River Island (dead expensive), products from both are good but I...

Hi Michaael I am so sorry you are having problems with your 905e :( . I have a 905se bought on ebay from Germany and love it. It may be the contacts or the fuse blown? You say you rode it for 100 metres no problem? If there is a serious problem and you used Paypal then you can raise the...

I think the marathon and John's tyre's are both good tyres and in the week I guess I mainly use the road but about a third off road. At the weekend I want to visit our local nature reserve which I really didn't know existed properly until recently. There are some quite deep possibly muddy paths...

Hi Burncycle I would agree with the 53 cm what ever that is in inches too as appears to be middle of the road and probably fine for your height and possibly close to my bike size? God knows what mine is? :D I would also consider if you have a cross bar which will not be a problem once...

I am 48 but don't think I can ever get used to the Mm/Cm/Metre versus Inch/Foot/Yard measurements unless there is no choice and I do carry around a key ring sized tape measure when I visit B & Q, lol! I also don't like Pints versus Litres or gramms kilos's versus pounds stones. Just don't like...

Schwalbe Marathon Plus Tyre for £21.59 | Schwalbe Tyres - Road City | Cycle | Wiggle This is a better pic of the same Marathon Plus tyre without so much computer enhancement and shows the tyre to be somewhat smoother? Don't get me wrong, I just wanted nobbly bits just towards the rim :) I...

Hi Guys The Marathon Plus in the pic is a computer generated one and when I recieved mine it didn't show it as it was and appears so much smoother in the flesh so to speak :)

Thanks Robert44 Would it not come with adapters? You can probably tell I have only ever used a standard hand pump, however it has a guage, lol! Thanks for your help Mandy

Hi Frank You are absolutely right and I don't want to risk another puncture and do want to change my tyres, but know when I got mine I sort of ploughed through some glass that wasn't there the day before, big green shards and obviously was not doing my normal early morning scan of the path...

Thanks Ian I think my nearest Lidl is around 5 miles away and I have seen loads of mention on this site but never been in one of these stores but sound cool. Even if I don't pick up one of the latest offers it certainly sounds well worth a visit! Are they open on a Sunday? Regards Mandy

Hi John I like the look of that tyre and I also like the site and the explanation of use and may well look further into that. It doesn't state MTB or ATB unless missed that? I wouldn't be surprised, lol! I suspect it may fall into ATB as looks like it fits the bill for all terrain? It...

Well maybe I should just put them on and look into the mudgauards I have without maybe going totally being full? I have seen some options out there? I guess what I am after more is the pucture resistance and can live with the mud in a way so long as I turn up at work looking clean :) But black...

Thanks Robert44 I will definitely check that one out, that looks like a good buy!! Can weekly be considered occasional? I would think so? :) Thank you Mandy

Hi Flecc As you know I want the puncture resistance and the moon on a stick!! Do you think the below tyres may suit my SE and has anyone else tried them? Schwalbe Marathon Plus ATB 26 x 2.0 | Tyres MTB Cross Country | Cycle - Cycle Sports UK Mind you I would shop around at that price...

Hi Frank and Flecc Well I haven't fitted the new tyres yet as in a quandry as Flecc has rightly stated that the deeper tread on a tyre will try to deflect the water away from the bike and I have the standard hybrid tyres fitted by Wisper at mo. Well after much cleaning on Sunday my bike...

Hi font69 I can understand your confusion and I am female :D I am just under 5ft 3inch with an inside leg of 32/33. I rode a 24 inch wheel small frame Powabyke for 3 years with no problems. However I had my heart set on the Wisper 905se and had been advised that my inside leg would be...

Thanks Flecc, maybe I will have a look at the Track Pump tomorrow in Halfords. However, if it is pouring down with rain the tyres will have to wait till next weekend and may then buy a pump on line :) Thank you Mandy
